Can Biofuels be Made Pro-Poor?ReviewsThe book makes a valuable contribution because it is able to exploit a niche of the biofuel debate that is often mentioned but glossed over, that is, the effects that larger-scale production of biofuels may have on the rural poor ... In summary, Joy Clancy's Biofuels and Rural Poverty makes an important contribution to the literature on biofuels, particularly in the aspects of land ownership and access, gender gaps, and equitability in the distribution of benefits to the poor. - Shahnila Islam, International Journal of Water Resources Development I can recommend the book to those who work in any area of development economics with links to renewable energy.
